Fundamentals of Human Resource Management

Аннотация

Fundamentals of Human Resource Management, Seventh Edition, focuses on human resource issues and how HR is used at work. Fundamentals is applicable to both HR majors and students from other majors or colleges who are taking an HR course as an elective or a requirement. Our approach to teaching human resource management involves engaging students in learning through the use of real-world examples and best practices; focusing them on important HR issues and concepts; and applying what they have learned through chapter features and end-of-chapter exercises and cases. Students not only learn about best practices but are actively engaged through the use of cases and decision making. As a result, students will be able to take what they have learned in the course and apply it to solving HRM problems they will encounter on the job. Each chapter includes several different pedagogical features. “Best Practices” provides examples of companies whose HR activities work well. “HR Oops!” highlights HRM issues that have been handled poorly. “Did You Know?” offers interesting statistics about chapter topics and how they play out in real-world companies. “HRM Social” demonstrates how social media and the Internet can be useful in managing HR activities in any organization. “Thinking Ethically” confronts students with issues that occur in managing human resources. Each feature includes questions to assist students with critical thinking and to spark classroom discussions.
